- There was a man who had a wife and three children. It was on a Monday morning in Summer he fell out with his wife. He went to hit her with a stick. She ran out on the public road and began to scream. Her husband ran after her and she shouted for help. What she shouted was "Save me, save me John is gone mad" She cried this all down the town at seven o clock.Another woman met her and said she would save her. It was a queer sight to see the two women fighting one man. Her husband hit the other with a stick. The Guards seperated them.
